Melbourne, 16 March 2010 - Argo Exploration Ltd (‘Argo’; ASX Code ‘AXT’) announced today that it
has entered into a binding agreement with Xstrata Mount Isa Mines Limited (‘Xstrata Copper”) to
form an exploration Farm-In and Joint Venture fast tracking exploration of its 100%-owned Intercept
Hill tenement in South Australia.
Key highlights are:
• Landmark binding agreement secures the involvement of one of the world’s leading
international mining companies to aggressively advance drill testing of high quality iron
oxide copper-gold (IOCG) targets identified by Argo
• Two stage agreement: Stage One grants Xstrata Copper the opportunity to earn a 51%
interest in Intercept Hill EL4164 by expending A$4 million within 3.5 years; Stage Two
allows Xstrata Copper to earn an additional 24% (to take its interest to 75%) by expending
an additional A$12 million within a further 4 years; expenditures may be brought forward
Are punters valuing the joint venture with Xstrata at almost $0
AXT has over $2 million cash in the bank and Pantheon oil shares valued by market at $3.8 million.
Thats nearly $6 million and the market cap of AXT currently stands at $6.1 million.
So little value placed is being placed on Olympic Dam style project that is going to be drilled by Xstrata.
Looks to me like a great no risk play in oil and copper/gold.
Am I blindor is this value investing
looks like i am the only one aboard this little bute!
up to 16 cents today..
i have to say i offloaded a few purely on the basis of the gain made. been buying from cents for the past 12 to 18 months.
still looking forward to drilling program.
xstrata is on board...
AXT is hitting all time lows, with drilling kicking off in early 2012 this one might just be worth looking at
I am fully loaded on AXT with a large parcel under 4 cents, very happy to see in the new year with this stock
and agree she is a takeover target thanks to Xstrata
